The S&P 500 futures trade 19 points, or 0.4%, above fair value as the market continues to sport a bullish bias in front of the Employment Situation report for October at 8:30 a.m. ET.
The Briefing.comconsensus is projecting 400,000 additions to nonfarm payrolls, a 4.7% unemployment rate (versus 4.8% in September), and a 0.4% increase in average hourly earnings. Recall, Fed Chair Powell said it wasn't time to talk about rate hikes since the economy hasn't reached maximum employment, which he doesn't expect to happen until the second half of next year.
Later in the day, the Consumer Credit report for September (Briefing.comconsensus $17.0 billion) will be released at 3:00 p.m. ET, and the House is reportedly expected to vote on the bipartisan and reconciliation infrastructure bills.
